Tim Scott, asked about auto strikes, praises past firing of striking federal workers

FORT DODGE, Iowa — Sen. Tim Scott said during a Monday campaign event, when asked about the United Auto Workers strike, that former President Ronald Reagan “gave us a great example” when he fired striking federal workers in the 1980s.

It’s the latest of several critical comments Scott has made about the auto workers, even as other GOP presidential candidates steer clear of criticizing them amid a strike at three plants so far.

Scott’s remark came in response to a question at a meet and greet in Fort Dodge: “Would you as president … insert yourself in the labor talks?” an Iowa voter asked.

Which begs the question, how in the ever living fuck are people still voting for them?! They have made it clear time and time again that they are 100% against the working class.

This. It just effing kills me.

But yes, so many republicans, would rather vote for God, Guns, and Freedumb while not carrying, knowing or understanding that every republican policy is aimed against themselves

Because they are fine with their lives being miserable as long as the lives of people that they hate are even worse.

Propoganda. Propoganda that is paid for by repub donors.

You made my morning. I’m dead on the hill of the proper use of ‘to beg the question.’

Unfortunately for me, our English language now accepts the improper way as proper.

I’ll go hang out with the Oxford comma nerds.
